[F] Don't run back inside, darling, you know just what I'm here for.
So you're scared and you're thinking that [Am] maybe we ain't that [Bb]
young anymore.
Well, show a little [C] faith, there's magic in the night.
You [F] ain't a beauty, but hey, you're [Bb] alright.
[G]
Oh, [F] and it's [C]
alright with me.
You [F] can hide beneath [C] your covers [Dm] and study your pain.
[F] Make crosses from your lovers, [Bb] throw roses [C] in the [F] rain.
Waste your [Am] summer praying in vain for [Bb] a savior to rise from these [C] streets.
Well, [F] now I'm no [C] hero [Dm] that's understood.
All the [F] redemption I can offer, [Bb] girl, is beneath this [Cm] dirty hood.
[F] With a chance to [Am] make it good somehow, [Bb] hey, what else can we [C] do now?
[F] Except roll down the [Bb] window and let the wind [F] blow back your hair.
Well, the [C] night's [F] busted up and [Am] these two lanes will take [Bb] us anywhere.
We've got one last chance to make [D] it real.
[E] [F] To trade [G] in these [Dm] wings, old [Bb] sub wheels.
Climbing back, [C] [F] heaven's waiting [D] down on your tracks.
[F] And it's whoa,
[C] come [Dm] take my hand.
[C] [F] We're riding out [C] tonight [Bb] to chase the promised land.
[F]
Whoa, [Am] thunder up, [Bb] oh, thunder [C] up.
It's [F] flying out [C] there like [Dm] a killer in the sun.
[F] Hey, I know it's late, but [Bb] we can make it, we're [F] right.
[C]
Whoa, [Am] thunder up, say [Bb] take, [C] take hold, thunder [G] up.
[F]
Well, [Bb] I got this guitar [C] and I learned how to make [F] it talk.
[C] [F]
[Am] And my [Dm]
car's out back if you're ready to take that long.
[C]
From your [Bb] front porch to my [C] front seat, the [Am] door's open but the ride, it [Dm] ain't free.
[Bb] I know you're lonely and [Gm] there's words that I ain't spoken.
[Bb]
[C] But tonight we'll be free, [Am] all the promises will be [C] broken.
There [F] were ghosts in the eyes [Bb] of all the boys [F] you sent away.
They haunt this dusty beach [C] road [Am] in the skeleton frames of [Bb] burned out Chevrolets.
They scream your name at night in [C] the street.
[D]
Your graduation [F] gown [Gm] lies in [G] rags at [Bb] their feet.
[Am] Head in the lonely cool before dawn.
From your [Bb] room you hear their engines roar on.
But [Gm] when you get to the porch, [C] they're gone.
On [Bb]
the wind, so merry [Gm]
climbing.
It's [Bb] a town full of losers [C] and I'm [Bb] pulling out of here [F] the wind. The wind.
